A Little Progress...

For anyone who has noticed posts about my working on my friend Nicole's chairs, I've revealed a possible color palette before, and now I'm going to give a hint at what design I'm going to paint. I absolutely love the delicate, intricate, beautiful lines seen in henna tattoo designs. Florals, swirls, paisleys, etc. all dance around each other to create truly lovely patterns, and no two are totally alike. So here is a sketch of a partial design that I will be painting on Nicole's chairs, inspired by traditional henna tattoos. Although the difference is, from what I understand, in traditional mehndi  each design symbolizes something. I don't pretend that mine symbolizes anything other than pretty, swirly flowers and such. Enjoy.
